OFF: Object file format
This example is very similar to the previous one.
The off format is a very simple ascii format but including n-agons and colour color on vertices and faces. So, this plug-in:
reads the file,
creates a GiD mesh with the read triangles and quadrilaterals and triangulates the read pentagons and hexagons (and discards bigger n-agons),
if colour color information is present in the off file, which can be present on the nodes or on the elements, then this information is passed to GiD as nodal or elemental results.

PLY + Tcl : Polygon file format
This plug-in is the same as the previous PLY plug-in but a tcl Tcl script is added inside the code to show a progress bar in tcl Tcl to keep the user entertained while big files are read.
